MAGNIFICENT MECHA MM01 Transformers Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime Review 

All this crazy engineering (and price) and they can't figure out how to give him articulated fingers?

I just thought I'd share that while MM-01 doesnt have articulated hands, Magnificent Mecha is releasing an add on kit that will include articulated hands, and the Cybertronian bits, to reflect his Cybertronian mode.

I own the ThreeZero prime because the robot form just can't be beat. But I want to add a transforming one. All the ones previously just had something off enough in either form that stopped me from making the purchase. I don't care how complex a transformation is as long as it doesn't compromise the figure in either form. It's got the looks and proportions that i'm looking for in a transforming BB prime. A bit pricey? Sure. Finally an english review! Thanks Ben!

Even though the transformation seems a bit of a bear I agree this looks like the definitive version for this character and it goes perfectly with the Megatank Megatron. It's a bit pricey though... Thanks for the review Ben.

If the elbows were double-jointed, then this figure could've been amazing.

I honestly really want to get this, the transformation doesn’t look the best but compared to toyworld the transformation looked like it was sent down from heaven. And since I am yet to own a bb movie Optimus prime I think I will get this.

Oh WOW! The Best Representation of Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime Yet!!!!!!! Unbelievable to see on how a DLX Looking figure can literally transform and have a good alt mode as well!!!!

Astonishing engineering. I would be afraid to transform it. Great video.

Really wish they would have incorporated the double elbow. Joints look tighter than tw. Especially the wrist. The movable hands add on will make this really great.

In my opinion, this is Wei Jiang rebranded. The similarities between this figure and Fire Scorpion are too many. I think this is what Wei Jiang had in mind if they hadn't rushed Fire Scorpion out the door before being shut down.

I just wanted to address this, bcs I've seen some comments abt the add on kit being released bfr MM-01 itself being released. MM01 has already been released. I already got my tracking #, and so did everyone that paid their ShowZ preorders in full bfr 04/26. Stores still have it for preorder bcs the first batch sold out bfr it was even released, and the current preorders are for the second batch.

The issue you had with the legs is because the left knee wasn't bent correctly when you started transforming

I think the reason why those are bends are only a bend cuz they also play a part in the transformation as the arms are needed to be bend to a very specific angle and MM didnt want us to go through the trouble of bending the arms to a perfect 90 degree. This is just a guess

Sir, you deserve more subscribers. Your contents are really awesome. My inner child in elated.

got the fire scorpion. Absolutely love it. This looks good aswell. But for that price im good with the one i already got.

When you pour this much effort into a gorgeous, transformable Optimus... but only give him 90-degree elbows. How unfortunate.

That looks cool as hell, yet, it seems infuriatingly frustrating to transform.

It looks more like the Wei Jiang version. I'm disappointed that such an expensive version doesn't come with fully articulated hands and a light-up gun. I think I'll stick with my Wei Jiang version, as it's much cheaper and looks great. $279.95 is just too much for this figure, IMO.

This makes me appreciate my Robosen self transforming Optimus so much lol. My goodness that's a ton of effort to transform

If you watch the original cartoon, Bumble bees shoulders are at Primes knees the scaling is a little off.

For christ's sake Ben. I decided not to even consider buying any more Primes and then you come along with this shit.

Hi Ben! MM-01 looks awesome. I don’t mind some of the panel forming. I really like the magnetic panel feature. Thank you for the review.

I had this on preorder. When the price info dropped so did my jaw. I figured I would wait for a review to decide. Thanks for being the first! It does look awesome. But I don't think it's $275 awesome. Especially after my purchase of the TW one back then. Once bitten, twice shy. I'd have probably taken it at $200 (same as monocrat)

hold up there where is the matrix

I'll stick with my fire scorpion, the price/transformation difference doesn't do it for me.

Are they going to come out with a new one or release more stock of this? We can’t buy this stuff anywhere…

He truly deserves the tittle Of magnificent mecha now i want someone to do a stop motion with this mm01 vs megatank anyone do it please

The most well done, a pity it is too expensive for me!

He's still not g1 Optimus Prime is a lot better than everything else I've seen so far

You are awesome! Been waiting for so long for someone to review this. You're the 1st guy I've subscribed to who has gotten and done that!

or that price I would expect an articulated spine at the very least, sound clips in the stand would have been nice too.

The only problem I have with this guy that would prevent me from getting it would be the back of the truck cab, where u feel like they could do what toy world did and flip it over and use the bottom of the smokestacks in robot as the top in vehicle.

what i will do is buy 2 of this one for just posing Optimus prime and one being Truck mode

Not sure where you got that the Bayformers in general are bigger than the Travis Knight ones. Maybe Mike Lorber told you so, maybe you got it from fan-made scale-charts from TFW2005 that being marketed as "official". Either way, your Black Mamba Prime is about 10-15% bigger in truck mode than it should be in comparison[(The way to tell is to compare the front bumper width cause the overall width of the trucks are standardised, also the Peterbuilt longnose truck Prime has significantly smaller cab than that flat nose one and the top of the cab should sit lower than the Flat Nose's which isn't the case here, not to mention the tire sizes which obviously should be the same)] theat means he's 10-15% bigger in bot-mode as well than should. On the other hand your OS UT Challenger KO is about to scale right with MM01, cause he's a tad bit shorter than MM01 and we know for a fact that 2007 lanky Prime equals in height with his Medieval Knight armoured version, just skinnier. You also keep overestimating Bee's bot-mode size, he should only come up to Prime's d*ck, not any further, Even Camaro Bee, who's a few feet taller than VW Bee should not come up any higher than that. So final conclusion. Bee Prime is the tallest, at least he's supposed to be 2-3 feet taller than the other two designs. Thank you for reading my rant. 🙏 😉👍

Great review, as always!

He has magnetic feet fyi 😊

je l'ai et il est magnifique mais je trouve dommage qu'il soit fourni qu'avec très peu d'accessoire pour le prix qui reste élevé et qu'on doit encore ajouté pour avoir les autres accessoires. C'est aberrant.

One of the best primes ive ever seen

Omg this figure 😍😍💕💕❤️

Jobby must review this

The blue half of the truck is hideous imo. No double jointed elbows, pay extra for articulated hands, & the panel transformation can be a chore. Dammit.

I have that same toy!

Really Ben? You didn't like the transformation process? I guess I'm just a masochist, but I also enjoy transforming my MP 36, and everyone knows, it's.....involved lol, which I really appreciate, but to each their own.

There are so many models and manufacturers in different size and quality... But there is one question I have: Which one of the masterpiece series is the most fun to transform? Some very movie accurate models like the WJ MPM04 look really nice but seems fiddly to transform. The huge amount of steps is cool but bringing them in the correct position looks like a PITA (but that may be cause it's more difficult to do behind a camera). Personally I like the MPP10 but I'll thankfully take any advice for a "more fun" one. Thanks

nice vedio

To be honest mate this is more MASTERPIECE THAN THE MPM BUMBLEBEE PRIME HANDS DOWN

It’s out of my price range 😞 at least as of now… especially since I’m looking to score a lewin resources prime… I’ll stick with my m09 for now

What is the brand and model number of the Megatron?

Beautiful piece but I would like to know when someone decided to rotate his torso because the original G1 didn't rotate. Makes no sense to me. Again great video

Dude for $275 bro there getting over big time 90 degree elbows and no articulated hands lol get real that's a slap in the face man 🤬

Has anyone here had a bad experience ordering from Tf direct, and does anyone know their return policies, or if the item doesn't arrive?

im sorry to ask, is this original?

Hey is this product official or its either KO or 3P ?

My toyworld freedom leader is disintegrating after each transformation as we speak. The chest doesn’t lock in, the plastic quality is bad, the lack of clearance forces you to flex a lot of the thin delicate panels. This figure looks pretty damn solid, and as complex as it is, is a godsend compared to the toyworld’s transformation. The truck mode is imo the very best of any transformable version of this optimus. The legs transform quite a bit rather than just hang off of the back of the truck like the toyworld and mpm. This is a must buy for me. Definitely the definitive version of BB optimus, thus far.

does anyone know when preorders for this will be sent out?

Put hasbro to shame. Just wow

Is this figure the same size as the Aoyi Ls-13?

No longer mad about skipping TW Optimus.

The omission of clearance lights on the cab is just a tad strange.

Really isxmagnificent. I love it

The Best of Bumble Bee movie Prime!

I can't wait to get mine!! Just 2 more weeks!! However, the reason he doesn't have double jointed elbows, is bcs they had to sacrifice the upper elbow joint, due to the arm being pushed up into itself for transformation into alt mode. There was no way of fitting the upper elbow joint, while still having the arm collapse into itself. Putting a second joint where you suggested would not only break up all that molding detail, but would also look unnatural.

that price is still expensive for me🥴👍

I love that Optimus design!!! I have a new deluxe size figure design on my channel if you want to watch it!!!

What's the comparison to ToyWorld's Optimus Prime? I wonder which one is better. I really like the weapons set that came with ToyWorld but read a review that the transformation sequence is very tedious. Just wondering if the Magnificent Mecha is any better/different?

The best knockoff I've seen reviewed. I'd like to get this figure but I already have the threezero, then again I'll probably get it for the truck mode, have the figures side by side.

MPM-12: You think you're better than me? MM-01: I'm better than you

Hey Ben great video, I've got Freedom Leader. I dont need another version thats overpriced and a nightmare to transform. So far to date I've been unsuccessful in transforming toywords version, I've attempted it 4 times with the last one resulting in parts breaking. It looks good but for the price I wish I'd brought 3zero.

How do I purchase this?

even though I'v already got fire scorpion, I honestly am thinking of grabbing this when it comes out, looks amazing, hybrid of TW freedom leader and fire scorpion

that is precision engineering :)

Do you think it is it worth selling the 3A version and getting this one instead?

Sangat bagus dan memukau

Looks great, but the hands are out of proportion and no articulation , i don't like the swappable smoke stacks, i hope they do a V2 .

How does he scale with the MT-01 Monocrat Megatank?

No ratchets?!

Hey Ben, any ideas who might be behind this? I have my suspicions but you seem to know a bit more.

Great review!!! What is the brand of that large megatron?? It looks awesome too!!

Ok I'm drooling now

I can not believe this thing actually transforms hey!!

Top

The Monocrat Megatank and this guy goes SO well together

u forgot to change the smokestacks in truck mode

I might sell my toyworld version for this one

black magic transformation

hey ben, which one better? mm01 or toyworld? i planning on sold my toyworld optimus

Wow! This looks like a must-have. Nothing else to say, really.

Robot mode are correct, not better than tw, AND truck mode Is like mp10 Is weird, i dont like

Arrg... Shoulder joint.. Pass

Beautiful, that's all I can say.

Best BB movie optimus prime really looks movie accurate and he scales really well with the other BB movie figures but wish he had articulated fingers

Great review. But I am sticking with weijiang.

The transformation looks like upgrade version of weijiang M09

Nice review. Did you review the Bs03 Optimus ?

Spettacolo !!!

Incredible. Hefty price tag but worth every cent.

The size of megatron is a absolutely joke. Optimus and Megatron had the same size in g1. Why is it that they a true too g1, except the size of those 2…? I get that he might looks more evil. But my opinion, it looks too stupid and not g1 like.

Personally I prefer Three Zero,I love that figure so much, not to say this figure isn’t good, this is fantastic, but the three zero is just a piece of art. This figure is awesome, the fact that it can transform is exceptional. The Three Zero also has a clean smooth feel to it and the articulation is also cleaner.

Waiting on them to make a Nemesis version

Looks like a Megatank product
